This week on This Ain't It, we ask does protesting really change anything? As events continue to unfold in Minneapolis, we talk about the killings of Alex Pretti and Renee Good, the demand for "peace" in moments of injustice, and why protest is so often dismissed or criminalized.
We dig into the language used by those in power, the role of public witness, and what history—from the civil rights movement to today—shows us about how change actually happens.
If you're feeling torn between exhaustion and responsibility, between cynicism and hope, this episode sits right in that tension.
